Welcome aboard the MV Scuba Cat

We designed and built the MV Scuba Cat to be the premier liveaboard operating in the Similan Islands. The Similans were chosen for a variety of reasons. First and foremost being the fact that the Similans have, as a group, the best diving in Thailand. There are an outstanding variety of dive sites in close proximity, making long boat trips unnecessary. Beautiful coral gardens in shallow water, spectacular rock formations dropping into the deep, and everywhere a profusion of varied fish species are just a few of the benefits.

Relaxation is an important factor on any liveaboard. On the MV Scuba Cat you will enjoy comfort and privacy in our twin cabins. On top of the MV Scuba Cat you will find an 80 square meter sun deck. This is an ideal place for sun bathing, sleeping, or romantic star gazing at night. While on board you will have the opportunity to meet, enjoy, and establish friendships with divers from all over the world. Scuba Cat's spacious saloon area is equipped with a TV, video, and stereo.

MV Scuba Cat is an ideal dive platform. Designed with the stability of a very large catamaran boat and operating amongst the protected waters of the Similans makes this the most "friendly" boat to be found; seasickness is rare. This truly is a boat for people who don't like boats and is an excellent choice for someone's first liveaboard experience. With the efficiency of the operation and convenience of diving we are able to offer up to five dives a day for those who wish. In keeping with our philosophy of a relaxed atmosphere, we are happy to drop guests of on the beach, provide ocean kayaks for your enjoyment, as well as arrange our famous sunset volleyball game. Non divers are most welcome and are sure to enjoy the variety of activities available.

The MV Scuba Cat is without a doubt the most comfortable and stable diving platform touring the Similan Islands. Our Divers can gear up in spacious surroundings and enter the water six abreast. So, the day is over and the sun is setting; could it really be any better than this?
